Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag lasadh go geal os cionn an tírdhreacha glas in Éirinn.
En: The sun was shining brightly over the green landscape in Éirinn.
Ga: Bhí sé i ndeireadh an earraigh, agus bhí na bláthanna fiáine ag bláthú faoi na túir ársa cloiche a bhí mar fothraigh ag seasamh ansin leis na céadta bliain.
En: It was late spring, and wildflowers were blooming beneath the ancient stone towers that stood as ruins there for hundreds of years.
Ga: Bhí searc ag Maeve agus Cormac don stair, agus lá amháin, bhuail siad le chéile ar thuras treoraithe sna fothraigh seo.
En: Maeve and Cormac had a love for history, and one day, they met on a guided tour of these ruins.
Ga: Bhí sruthán beag ag rith tríd an ngleann, agus bhí guth an treoraithe ag éirí soiléir ar an gaoith bhog.
En: A little stream was running through the valley, and the guide's voice was becoming clear on the gentle breeze.
Ga: Ach léirigh an treoir nach raibh cúram eiseamláireach ar rannpháirtíocht iomlán pearsanta, mar gheall gur mhó an grúpa ná mar a bh’fhéidir a bhainistiú go héasca.
En: But the guide showed a lack of exemplary care for full personal engagement, due to the group being larger than what could be easily managed.
Ga: Nuair a fuair siad sos beag, d'fhéach Maeve thart, a súile lonracha.
En: When they got a small break, Maeve looked around, her eyes bright.
Ga: Bhí sí ag cuardach leideanna faoi finscéil ársa a chreid sí a d'fhéadfadh teacht ó na fothraigh seo.
En: She was searching for hints of ancient legends she believed might originate from these ruins.
Ga: "Tá rud éigin speisialta faoi na fothraigh seo," a dúirt sí le Cormac, ar gcúl an ghrúpa.
En: "There's something special about these ruins," she said to Cormac, at the back of the group.
Ga: "Creidim go mb'fhéidir go mbeadh finscéal as Palermo "D.Contractropic." a chreidim a thosaigh anseo."
En: "I believe that maybe a legend from Palermo, 'D.Contractropic,' originated here."
Ga: D'fhéach Cormac, ag cuimhneamh ar a leabhair staire annamh curtha ar leataobh sa bhaile.
En: Cormac looked, recalling his rare history books set aside at home.
Ga: Bhí an áit fánach dó mar féidearthacht inspioráide don leabhar nua a bhí aige ar intinn.
En: The place was a fleeting possibility for him as inspiration for the new book he had in mind.
Ga: Mar a bhí an treoir treallach, mheáigh Maeve a claonadh féin.
En: As the guide was capricious, Maeve weighed her own inclination.
Ga: Ní fhéadfadh sí éalú ó mhealltacht an eolais atá i bhfolach sna háiteanna sin nár roinntear leo siúd ar an gcosán marcáilte.
En: She could not escape the allure of the knowledge hidden in those places not shared with those on the marked path.
Ga: "Caithfidh mé a fheiceáil," a dúirt sí, a súile geal ag taispeáint misneach.
En: "I must see," she said, her bright eyes showing courage.
Ga: "Buailim cloch nuair a tugann tuirse tarcaisne."
En: "I will strike stone when fatigue brings disdain."
Ga: Bhí smaointe Cormaic ag creathadh.
En: Cormac's thoughts were vibrating.
Ga: D’fhéadfadh a íslí a bheith cónascaithe lena díograis féin.
En: His lows might be interconnected with her own enthusiasm.
Ga: "Rachaimid liom," ar seisean go ciúin.
En: "Let's go," he said quietly.
Ga: Shiúil siad trasna na fothraigh, tar éis dóibh dul i bhfolach ón nguide.
En: They walked across the ruins, having hidden
